Out of Many is a series of exhibits, events and conversations centering around the work of five photographers and two writers working out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Working from the premise that "we have all come from somewhere," Out of Many explores the central role that migration and immigration have played, and continue to play, in the formation of our identity and culture, and in sustaining our economy - and in doing so, aims to create a space for civil, constructive conversation about belonging and cultural heritage today. With original, contemporary photography and essays, Out of Many uses Pittsburgh's story as a lense throguh which to examine the broader American immigration and migration experience.
